Compliance steps

1
Register as an importer on the CPCB centralised portal under Rule 6 of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022 before filing the bill of entry. Ensure EPR obligations under Rule 7.3 are met and that the registration is current at the time of each import.
Rule 6 and Rule 7.3 of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 133(E) dated 16-02-2022 · CBIC Instruction 09/2022-Customs dated 22-06-2022
2
Declare the IUPAC name and CAS number of all constituent chemicals in the import declaration at the time of filing the bill of entry. These qualifiers are mandatory for all Chapter 39 imports on bills of entry filed on or after 1 October 2023 and are in addition to existing declarations.
CBIC Circular 15/2023-Cus dated 07-06-2023 · CBIC Circular 18/2023-Cus dated 30-06-2023
3
Verify that the consignment does not contain single-use plastic items prohibited under Rule 4(2) of the Plastic Waste Management Rules (effective 01-07-2022), and confirm compliance with the Plastic Waste Management (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023. Where goods originate from Bangladesh, assess applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 regarding port restrictions under Para 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022.
Rule 4(2) of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 807(E) dated 30-10-2023 · DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without a live CPCB EPR registration, treating it as a post-import formality. Rule 6 registration is a pre-import obligation; an importer without a current CPCB portal registration at the time of filing has no lawful basis to clear the consignment, exposing the goods to detention and demurrage while remediation is sought. The IUPAC/CAS qualifier requirement is a separate and parallel obligation — omission triggers a deficiency flag at the customs system level, stalling out-of-charge independently of the EPR status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3919 10 00 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers self-adhesive plastic rolls or tapes under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022, with CBIC chemical-qualifier and DGFT policy overlays applying concurrently.

Are the IUPAC name and CAS number declarations mandatory at the time of filing the bill of entry, or can they be submitted later?

They are mandatory at the time of filing, not retrospectively. Per CBIC Circulars 15/2023-Cus and 18/2023-Cus, these fields are required from the beginning of the import declaration process for all Chapter 39 bills of entry filed on or after 1 October 2023.

Do the single-use plastic prohibitions under Rule 4(2) affect imports of self-adhesive tapes or films under this HSN?

Rule 4(2) prohibits wrapping or packing films used around sweet boxes, invitation cards, and cigarette packets effective 01-07-2022, but self-adhesive tapes and strips for industrial or functional use are not listed in the prohibited categories; importers should verify end-use against the specific items enumerated in Rule 4(2) and the carve-out for compostable plastic under Rule 4(3).
